It's a very noticeable difference when compared to the stock 10.1" (on my 99 4-door that is). You add a little bit more weight up front, but it's worth it since you get much better stopping power. I will never go back to the stock brakes, I love my G60 brakes
You can also try the harder OEM VW pad in the rear. They'll take longer to wear down than the soft version of the OEM pads and generate less dust. I installed them on mine last year and there is no layer of black dust between car washes. The down side I get noise when there is rust on my rotors but that usually goes away after a couple of braking stops.
The rear brakes are a rotor and pad upgrade with the calipers matched to the front by Brembo in Brembo Blue.
Corrado 11 inch brakes should give plenty of stopping power. My Corrado stops on a dime too.
I took the car to the dealer and they put new rear pads and rotors on.
The R32 brakes are A LOT better. You'll like them!!
Passat has stronger brakes, by far. Actually, when I entered Taurus I couldn't believe how weak the brakes are. When I went back to Passat I almost threw myself out of my seat as I stepped so hard on the brake.
I fitted it to my Rallye. Braking power was great, but with the ABS system it losed feel. I removend the ABS and went on a conventional system and is wonderful
So what pads are you using with the Brembos? Was it $320 for four discs?
Yes the brakes fit NO wheels really fit over them. - Huge spacers will fix this - not good for your ride. - Brake balance will be grossly forward biased. Lesson: Buy a brake kit designed for your vehicle or just get better pads.
